The Giants hit a home run in the draft.
They got their cornerback.
They got their center.
They got their wide receiver.
Joe Schoen checked off a lot of boxes and Giants fans should be thrilled with the draft haul.
Their second-round pick, John Michael Schmitz, is expected to be the starting center.
He joined us on our post-draft episode of the “Blue Rush” podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz, Brandon London and me.
We dissect the Giants’ picks and have a fun convo with Schmitz.
Blue Rush Podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz & Brandon London:
- TYNES’ CALL: We play and react to Tynes’ call of the Schmitz pick. He brought the energy with the call and had a cool Dabes shirt on.
- BREAKING DOWN THE PICKS: Many experts gave the Giants an A or A+ for their draft. They traded up when they needed to. They got a starting corner, center and a speedy receiver. They also got a potential explosive running back.
- OFFSEASON REVIEW: Giants had a strong offseason and draft. Now they await a resolution to the Saquon Barkley situation. This team got better and faster than it was in January and that’s all you can ask for.
John Michael Schmitz Interview:
Giants center, second-round pick
- JOINING GIANTS/COACHING STAFF: Excited to join the team and already getting along great with coaches. Reminds him of his Minnesota coaching staff.
- NICE TO NASTY: Nice guy off the field, but flips the switch on when he puts that helmet on to become a nasty, physical player.
- BACKGROUND: More of a country type of guy, but looking forward to coming here. His secret talent is singing, or so he thinks.
